Can a Blu ray player play normal DVD's also?

Question

Can a Blu ray player play normal DVD's also? Which one is the best, how much should I spend?

Answer 1

Yes. Actually, the PS3 is the best bluray player but if you dont wanna spend that much, buy a sony one.

Answer 2

Absolutely yes. obviously not the same in reverse tho. I have the ps3, and apart from kickass games u can play standard dvds and blurays. And it looks sweet next to your tv. Also, for that touch of class, spring for the bluray remote so your not pausing movies in front of your friends with a ps3 controller

Answer 3

yes they can and most of the time make them look better with upscaling. The best one is a PS3 and they're normally the same price as other blue-ray players so I say thats the best deal esp. if your a gamer and if your not its still better to have that option of gaming instead of spending the same amount on a standalone player, so for the price point I would say 399.99 , the price of a PS3 (40 gig)
